08:20 AM EDT, 10/22/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Argentina Lithium & Energy ( LILIF ) Wednesday released the results of the first mineral resource estimate for the Rincon West lithium brine project in Argentina.

The MRE contained measured and indicated resources of 0.15 km3 brine volume with an average grade of 296 mg/lithium, representing 238,000 tonnes of lithium carbonate equivalent; and inferred resource of 0.08 km3 brine volume with an average grade of 216 mg/lithium, representing 64,000 tonnes of LCE.

The MRE was completed at the West Block properties totaling 2,931 hectares. The resource estimate does not consider the Paso de Sico concessions in the northern part of the Rincon West project, which represents 3,742.9 hectares of mining concessions at the Rincon Salar.

"This initial resource provides a solid foundation on which we intend to expand the resource base: the exploration team will be carefully evaluating drilling below the current mineral resource, where expansion potential has been identified as the current mineral resource is open to depth," said Argentina Lithium CEO Nikolaos Cacos.
